Message: [QUOTE="bbsamjj, post: 3920596, member: 1738"] While I'm still getting over RU's first round loss, I don't think the committee got the B10 seedings that wrong: #2 seed MD: yep #4 seed Indiana: you can argue they deserved a #3 seed, but they were upset in the B10 quarterfinals, while the #3 seeds were UGA (SEC runner ups), AZ (Pac12 semis), UCLA (Pac12 finals), and Tennessee (who beat Indiana in the regular season). #5 seed Iowa: one of hottest teams in country, though a very uneven season. The fact that they beat a #4 seed is not really an upset. #6 seeds RU & Michigan: This seeding makes sense for RU (who forgot how to play defense in the 4th quarter of their game versus BYU (though BYU also almost upset Arizona). With Michigan, they had 10 games postposed throughout the year, and finished their last 5 game 2-3, including a loss in B10 quarters to Northwestern. They did not seem to be trending up heading into NCAAs. #7 seed Northwestern: had been a bit disappointing in regular season, had a nice win over Michigan in B10 tournament. This feels about right. #10 Michigan St: were on the bubble before upsetting Indiana in B10 tournament. [/QUOTE]
